a joint designed to provide means for expansion and contraction movements produced by temperature changes, loadings or other forces
A separation between adjoining parts of a concrete or steel structure which is provided to allow small relative movements, such as those caused by temperature changes, to occur independently
A bituminous fiber strip that is inserted between concrete blocks, bricks or concrete paving to prevent cracking due the expansion caused by temperature changes
a structural seperation between two building elements that allows free movement between the elements without damage to the waterproofing system
Area of a fire-rated component designed and punched to provide thermal expansion relief for that component Due to expansion of steel when heated, this expansion control is necessary to keep the fire membrane intact
a structural separation between two building elements that allows free movements between the elements without damage to the roofing or waterproofing system
a structural separation between two building elements that allows free movement between the elements without damage to the roofing or waterproofing system
A term applied to a joint which permits linear movement to take up the expansion and contraction due to changes in temperature
A joint designed to provide for expansion and contraction movements produced by temperature changes, loadings or other forces (5)
a joint designed to provide a means for expansion and contraction that is caused by temperature changes, loadings, and so forth
A built-in separation between building sections to allow for free movement between the sections without damaging the buildings structural components
A break in construction or a special design detail to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the materials of a structure
A bituminous fiber strip used to separate blocks or units of concrete to prevent cracking due to expansion as a result of temperature changes Also used on concrete slabs
A joint designed to provide means for expansion and contraction movements produced by temperature changes, loadings, or other means
